I am buying a bunch of these wheels as they will be phased out and are perfect for the money conscious enthusiast who has weight concerns about their wheels.
I need to purchase 7 sets.

The wheels can be seen at discounttiredirect.com, Search by brand and check out the RPO1, it is a great clean looking 5 spoke with amazing weight characteristics.

This can also be seen in the tire and wheel section. Please do not respond here as I do not enter this section much.

16,7 for 4/5 lug = $625.00 shipped; FA-C fitment
17,7" for 4 lug = $725.00 shipped; FA-C fitment
17,8 and 17,9 stagger will cost $725.00 shipped; FC and FD
17,8 and 18,9.5 will cost $775.00; FC ONLY
18,8,5 and 18,9.5 = $825.00 shipped; FD ONLY

I have confirmed offsets and accurate fitments for the FC's in this section.

Within the designated diameter, there is no price difference between widths.

All payments are accepted via paypal: autornd@hotmail.com

Alright gang who wants some kick-*** rims for a really really great price. I know I'm getting a set as soon as I drop my new motor in. I'm gonna get the 17x8, 18x9.5 set up. Damn that's freakin cheap $775 for the set. I can't wait to get my new motor in and buy these rims so I can get my car done. For all you guys that are little hesitant on buying from Rishie, please don't be because he has a pretty big group of people on the forum who are satisified customers. Of course that means me too.

Melon350- I'm sure Rishie can get them for you right away because they are in stock. Just let him know when your ready to order.

Take Care

Do you know if the 18x8.5 will fit upfront without rubbing? I've got Eibach springs so they prob wouldnt fit but let me know if you think they will.

Do you know what the weight of the 17x8 is???

Can you sell tires and have them mounted to the wheels???

Thanks,

dclin

There is no reason they should not fit. If I remember correctly, those wheels were available in +38mm offset for the 8.5 wisth wheels. I sold a bunch of 18X9 +42, and Zoomspeed lowered his with 1.25in H&R springs and he reports no rub.

The key is to choose the correct size tire. I recommend 225/40/18s (or even better 225/35/18, though this a rare size relatively). Remember, tires are 'the last mile' when it comes to fit.

I've ordered from Rishie myself - feel confident in buying from him!

How long do we have?

I will accept a 50% deposit, and order the sets immediately for those who cannot pay all at once, I will charge an extra $50.00 to do this, as I pay in advance for all this stuff so I'll be forking out the money. But you will need to come up with the remainder one month from the time that I make the order. That means from sometime next week. And if you can't within a month, there will be a 25% restocking fee from the full price, which means you will lose half the deposit and it will be repaid when I sell the wheels. So be sure, or better just get the money.

I need to reserve 7 spots for me to get you guys this deal. If I do this I don't have to pay shipping to me and this savings is going right to your pocket.

From the day I order, the wheels will be at my door within 3 days. They made need to put sets together from different wharehouses.

Thanks a lot for posting that pick. I can't believe how good they look for being so cheap. they look really good on the FD.

The fitments are all sound, don't worry, I am OFFSET MAN. hehe.

Thanks, Rishie

Aww...maybe I shoulda got these wheels instead! Save me some money! Can I get a refund, Rishie? Just kidding. I love my LE37Ts. And yes, no worries about ordering from him...great guy, great service, nice "company cars" as well.

You haven't stated their weights, specifically for the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 set, how are these compared to SSR GT3s, which is what I was lookin at but those are a lil expensive in comparison, though the five spoke look is a little plain to me. So if the eight is low enough I'll sacrifice some style point for a few pounds (shouldn't it be that way anyways?).

Found the FD I want, now if everything works out

I will call my rep today. I have not weighed all of the different sizes, but I know BATMAN has the 17" combo on his FD, and Seth is running the 17,18 stagger for his FC. Alain has told me that his wheels were less than 18 lbs a piece.

I will get approximate shipping weights, but they could be lighter. I know they are under 20 lbs.

Considering the GT3 is a multipiece wheel and my GT1's are about 17 lbs for 18,7.5 = Protege5, I bet the GT3's would weigh more than the Enkeis.

Thanks, RIshie

ARD T2: You have the GT1s on your car...any pics? How much can you geet these wheels for? that is 18X9

ARD T2

iTrader: (22)

I'll find out fitment and pricing for the FD. I actually have them on our project PROTEGE5 in an 18,7.5. Don't worry though, I should be able to hook you up cheaper than tirerack.com. I'll let you know tommorrow.

Thanks, RIshie

spyfish007

I have verified fitmit through HADNSE. He uses the SSR 5-star them with a 255/35 on all corners. Both wheels have the same +45mm offset on a 18X9. I'm probably looking to buy within the month.

UP WE GO. I'd like to do this sometime next week. I believe I have 4.5 sets ready. If I don't get seven sets I might have to accept 50% via paypal and 50% via money order. If I don't get seven sets I won't get an addt'l 3% off which would exactly cover my paypal fees.

Thanks, Rishie

Rishie, just like to let you know im interested in a set. How much time do i have? Thanks

ARD T2

iTrader: (22)

We are ready to do this. I received 7 inquiries and would like to go ahead and take final head count. I will be PMing and e-mailing all of you individually as well. This should happen this week.

Thanks, Rishie

You all should have received a message from me indicating that we are collecting payments for this deal so we can get it going.

Jason D. I will tell you when to send the money via paypal, I want to collect all other payments first and get yours last as you're in England.

All payments are accepted through paypal: autornd@hotmail.com

Please send your payments immediately, they are running out of stock and I would like to ensure that everyone gets what they want. Indicate the combo of wheels you want in the memo section of your paypal pmt. I will contact each of you once I've received pmt's and confirm the order.

This is a great deal so refinance your houses if you have to, I've given plenty of time for y'all to save up.

Much appreciated,

Rishie
